Day 36

"Take something old and make it look new."
I took an empty can of concentrated iced tea, painted it red, covered it in a layer of red tissue paper, and painted a pretty black design on it. Can you see the little top hat tribute? :)

Day 10

"Use only water as your medium/inspiration today."
Black paint + Gloss Mod Podge + Water =
Day10
Yes, that's real water on top of it. And underneath, a painting and a couple of layers of Mod Podge. Mod Podge is advertised as a "Waterbase sealer, glue & finish", so probably not the smartest thing to use, but certainly the most available at the time. Besides, it works just fine if you do it fast enough. Even better if you wait a few hours for it to dry, but I didn't have a few hours, so I had to work relatively fast. Turned out well, though, and I didn't even plan the lovely shadows in the corners. I'm very happy with the shine, however. It took a while (which I just barely had) to find the right angle for that reflection, but it's exactly the way I wanted it to be. I think this is going to be another of my favorites. :)

Day 7

"One week down! See how fast it goes? Today, make a stencil and use it in your work."
One week indeed! It's so cool! :) I'm still lovin' it. It's a lot of fun (for now, at least), and I'm gonna take the opportunity to suggest again that you try it out.
Anyways.

The first one is the stencil.
The second is the stencil in my sketchbook, covered in paint.
The third is after I lifted the stencil off the page.
The fourth is after I used white-out to fix the leaks that happened when I put too much paint directly on the page, or my paintbrush got under the stencil.
And that's it. If someone wants to see bigger versions, request them yourself. :P
